Abstract: A study has been made of (1) the syntheses and ionization constants of m-and p- cyclopropyl-,-cyclobutyl,-cyclopentyl-,-cyclohexyl-,-(1-cyclopentenyl)-, and-(1-cyclohexenyl) benzoic acids and (2) the syntheses and unimalecular hydrolysis ratesof m-and p- cyclopropyl-,-cyclopentyl-,-cyclohexyl-, andp-cyclobutylphenyldimethylcarbinyl chlorides in 90% aqueous acetone. The effects of ring size on the ionization constants of the m-(1- ...
